Preliminary Data Summary, May 2016

On May 7, 2016, 186 people at 175 individual locations surveyed Brown Pelicans at dusk (5:00-7:00 PM) from Washington State through Baja California. The locations included known roost sites (“eBird roost hotspots”) as well as any other coastal location. Participants entered their data directly into eBird. This data summary was compiled from these eBird entries. Please note, this is a preliminary summary and is likely to change slightly following additional review. Additional information will also be reported following further review. This survey was developed by Audubon California, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Cornell Lab of Ornithology (eBird), Audubon Society of Portland, and Audubon Washington.
